A patient requires as-needed sedation. What would the nurse keep in mind when choosing a PRN sedative for an agitated patient?
 
  a. Intramuscular injection can be traumatic, so oral meds should be used where possible.
  b. Benzodiazepines are less sedating but have the advantage of no side effects.
  c. Lithium carbonate works well but only for those already taking regular daily dosages.
  d. Diazepam (Valium) is the preferred benzodiazepine because it is a short-acting sedative.
